Experimental Jet Set, Trash And No Star
 

My edition of EXPERIMENTAL JET SET, TRASH AND NO STAR has the insert cards joint together.
And there's no barcode on the back cover.
Im thinking that it's a promo edition.
Is there anyone else who has a copy like this?



- There is nothing mentioned here http://sonicyouth.com/mustang/lp/index.html

No, but one hella of a good album, it gets bashed frequently, but it is an amazing album.

EJSTANS!

weird?!?

Way to go you lucky bastard!!!
No seriously very nice!

Most promo editions come with a little label on them somewhere.

This is could be a very good copy?

i am not sure if it's a promo, usually they have "promo" stamped on the cd itself (common practice from geffen at the time), or a sticker on the front of the artwork sent out in bulk to retail stores, and since silver son didn't say it had it printed on it i don't think it would be

i think it may have been a printing error by one of the european pressing plants, but then again country to country there are differences in the packaging so it's hard to say if the copy you got is standard from one of the euro plants or not

The later copies don't have the cards seperate, from what I've seen. Also I think ones that came from cd clubs (columbia house etc.) were like this too.

I love this album. that's quite a killer copy you got here, man!

Yeah this labum is much better than most people say it is. I dig it.

this album is great

Two words:

Sweet. Shine.

It is undeniably on one of the top five cd's they released.

Androgenous Mind

Starfield Road and Bone are my two favorite from this one.

i deny this

its like their 5th wort

its good, real good, just not when compared to the other albums

No see, I think it is one of their best albums, so different than the rest. Just very good, and it deserves to be up there.

There is no promo stamp on it any where, but where the barcode should be it say:
D 193998
Mfd. for BMG Direct Marketing, Inc.
under license
6550 East 30th Street,
Indianapolis, Indiana 46219
(I have posted a picture)

Also I don't think that is't a european press it clearly says made in USA on both the cd and the insert, I brought it on eay from at guy in the US some years back.
As far as I know the standard european press also comes with the cards for inserts.

OH..then that's from the BMG marketing music club !

the kind of club where you get like 12 free, then have to buy 1 over a year's time or some such deal. I used to do that awhile back. Ends up you pay shipping and handling for each 'free' cd and that's about $3.00 apiece or so....still a good deal.


*oh I see where CHOUT was on this....he knows about music clubs too it seems. :)

Cool, thanks for clearing that up.

just wanted to say

this record's okay, too many sassy thurston numbers, but it's strange that 1) there are no lee songs and 2) kim's songs are the best ones on here (really strange). anyway, obviously, "bull in the heather" is just an amazing amazing masterpiece of a song.

I love "Quest for the cup"

its a later release i reckon..
i was never a fan of this album, i think its sys weakest. it wuld have made a crackin mini album tho...



im sorry, ill get my coat!!!

I like this album, it's not my favorite but I know that some people loves it very much so... difficult to say it's a weak album... That's interesting with sonic youth : there are many sensibilities and if I say for example that I find the song "drippin drams" really boring I'm sure that someone will say that it's his favorite one... I don't know if it is the same for other band... maybe, it's because it's a consequence of their long long discography and the fact that they've never made the same thing twice... ???

i think it's because some people don't understand music and some people do

Fast Show!!

I like EJTANS but it definitely the SY album with the most throwaway songs

I believe music is not an equation you understand or not but something you feel or not... I hope i'll never understand music or I can stop listening to it !
